Ready, Steady...Fashion!

It is strange how one moment you can feel cast adrift, not knowing the right way to go, and the next you‘ve got a boot in your arse pushing you in the right direction. All it takes is the right word from the right person. Such a thing happened to us last week, when a message flashed up on Facebook from a young lady named Sinead Coughlan; style maven and entrepreneur extraordinaire. She tells us she’s opening a designer concept store in gay Paris and wants some siob.she on her rails. Exciting stuff we say, when are you opening this wonder shop? In three weeks’ time she says, can you do it? Of course we say…

One week and many many meetings/frantic phone calls/cryptic messages later, we’ve hatched a cunning plan. As the main line collection is still in the designing stage, we’ve decided to cherry pick some pieces from our graduate collections, restyle them into 8 strong looks, shoot a look book, brand the one-off collection, knock together some business cards and get the website up and running. In two weeks. Can we do it? These people think we can…
